Vatican City, October 28 - The president of the
pontifical council for culture, Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, on
Monday paid homage to American rocker Lou Reed.
Reed died Sunday at the age of 71 after receiving a liver
transplant in May.
Ravasi, who is a biblical scholar, Hebrew scholar and
theologian, posted a passage from Perfect Day, one of the former
Velvet Underground frontman's most famous songs.
Ravasi tweeted, "Oh, it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I
spend it with you, Oh, such a perfect day, You just keep me
hanging on".
